Ok, two questions really:

First off, is 'Canbrush' (USA Brand and Formulation) any good for priming models - it comes in packs of 2 440ml cans at £7.99 which is cheaper than GW's Chaos black at 400ml for £9.50, but although it says it can be used for plastics, I wonder if anybody, particularly in the USA have used this and can vouch for it.

Second, though this is probably the wrong forum for it: What exactly is the Imperial Guard Respirator for - Forgeworld sells 2 upgrade packs, one for respirators alone, and another for a full hostile environment suite, which leads me to suspect that the respirator helmet has other uses than just as a breathing aid on a hostile world - any thoughts as I'm indecisive over which set I should get for my new IG Regiment. I know I want the respirators, but I'm not too fussed about the hostile environment side of it.

Any help would be much appreciated.
